New Patterns to hit the Etsy Shop

Two New Cross Stitch Patterns have dropped into the Etsy Shop ! 

The first pattern is new to the Lady Bug Series all ready in the shop. This pattern is called Tiny

This pattern features a lady bugs, daisies, and a bright yellow aida fabric. 

  I hand dyed the 14 ct Zweigart Aida with Rit Dye.  I used 4 cups of boiling water to 1 tsp of Lemon Yellow dye. 

I used DMC Floss to stitch the pattern. 

DMC:

310  Black

B5200 Bright White

321  Christmas Red

972  Deep Canary

I finished the piece with 1/2" Red Rick from Hobby Lobby sku # 471599. The backing fabric is a simple black farbic with white dots. I picked this up at Walmart as a Fat Quarter.  The wired Ribbon also came from Hobby Lobby. You can find it and the small  ladybugs  (sku # 877795) in the floral department. 

I simply take the wire off and hot glue them on. 

I bought the small wood blackboard at Dollar General. It was plain wood border which I painted with red paint to match the rest of the series. 

This pattern has a stitch count of 67 x 91. I stitched it on 14ct so it finished 4.8 x 6.5" 

The next pattern is one of my favorites of all time.  It is the start of my new summer series called Sweet Summer.  This series will feature watermelons.  I will be releasing the patterns weekly. 

The first release though is my favorite. I just love it!

I absolutely love Home Sweet Home.  

This pattern is an easy and quick stitch. 

The stitch count is 45 x 93.  

The finished size is 3.2 x 6.6" .

I hand dyed 14ct Zweigart Aida with Rit Dye.  I used a whole yard of fabric with 4 cups of water and 1 1/2 tsp of petal pink Rit Dye. 

I used DMC Floss for the whole stitch.
